Hi Stewart,
what type has that column? Is it numeric or string?
If numeric, then it should work as in maths (and how
you described it should be), otherwise if string, then
you should create one additional numeric column and
write there the value there after converting it to a number
by calling xxToNumber(str);

As stated, normally you can do all just in the same table.
For sorting a string column which consists of digits,
you should convert these "string numbers" to ordinary
numbers before putting them into the table, or simply
add another column, now a numeric type, and store it
there, and sort on that column.
I hope I understood the problem right; please let me
know if it still doesn't work the way you want it.
UM
